About This Movie

So, 'Son of the Mask' is a bit of a curious watch, isn’t it? Directed by Lawrence Guterman, it takes the zany spirit of the original and spins it into a family-centric adventure. You’ve got this aspiring cartoonist, Tim Avery, whose life gets turned upside down after his dog finds Loki’s mask. The use of practical effects here is kind of a mixed bag—some moments are genuinely playful, while others feel a bit overdone. The pacing can drag in parts, but it’s that chaotic energy that keeps you guessing. Jamie Kennedy as Tim isn’t quite Jim Carrey, but there's a certain charm to his performance. It’s definitely a film that leans heavily into the absurdity of parenting with a lot of cartoonish flair.

Released on DVD in 2005, with a Blu-ray in 2014.Features extensive CGI alongside practical effects.The film has notable cameo appearances, including Bob Hoskins.Shot primarily in California, it has a vibrant, colorful aesthetic.
